Lyrics

Annie get in the boat.
The sheriff's dogs are down the road.
For the taste of reward
They'll hang me from the highest bough you know.
So Annie get in the boat.
They say I killed him but I don't really know.
The whiskey takes control
You said yourself, you don't know just how far I'd go.
Well, Annie get in the boat.

Annie get in the boat.
You know it wasn't even my fault.
You push a man so far.
But I know I can't go on alone.
So Annie get in the boat.
I can hear them.
I think their getting close.


It's a long way to New Orleans.
Annie Please.
Half an hour is all we really need.
Annie Please.
Annie Please.
Annie Please.

Annie get in the boat.
They can't touch us in Mexico.
Sounds scary I know.
I promise to get you back to see your folks.
But Annie get in the boat.
I can hear them. I think their getting
getting close.
